One Bad 84
It's been a while guys. I've been busy with work and I kinda put my old truck on the back burner. Needless to say I sold the last project and got a new one last night that is 95% complete. Drove to arkansas to pick her up last night. I love it. It's an 84 with a fuel injected 350. Posi-Trac rear end, new paint. 20" eagle alloy 225s, power windows and locks and all interior minus a dash pad! Only thing I want now is to lower it a bit like my last one....alright here's some pics! Enjoy ; )

Re: One Bad 84
I kinda like the stance of the truck as it is...I think I prefer it a little bit lower. Can anyone verify if this looks like it has been lowered already someway. Measurement on the front from the ground to the bottom of the fender is right under 30"s and the rear is at 31 1/2. Is this stock or a tad lowered already? Thanks

Re: One Bad 84
Man I know...I'm trying to decide how much and what the best way to do it would be...it looks like someone has lowered it a little? Maybe cut the spring , I looked under it today and it has stock spindles...so I'm not sure...I need to get my hands on a set and maybe a flip kit....you think it would be easy to make a flip kit?

Re: One Bad 84
Flip kits are easy to make especially if you have access to a metal break. If not, I'm sure a local welding shop or machine shop would do it pretty cheap. The U bolts are the expensive part of it. Here is a drawing I did in SolidWorks really quick for ya.

Re: One Bad 84
The truck really looks good! It's even cooler in person and the pink paint really grows on you. Get that thing lower man! haha

Re: One Bad 84
Got a question...I am lowering the back with a flip kit tomo... The back measures from ground to bottom of fender 31 1/2 inches and the front is right above 30" , is this truck lowered someway already? The back everything looks normal...there are 4 leafsand the overload so a total of five and front is stock spindles...next question. Is the back going to be lower with a flip kit the way it sits now? And if I bring the front down a bit it looks like the tires might hit? And I'm not even sure how wide the wheels are? The tires are 275 40 all the way around.....can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks

Re: One Bad 84
Ordered a set of mcgaughys 2.5" drop spindles and a cnotch kit for the rear this evening...I can't handle this baby bottoming out on bumps! A little concerned the front tires are going to hit the fender edge when it's lowered but well see when it happens I guess....anyone ever roll their fenders in or modify them to clear...some light on that topic would be welcomed....hope it's not too big a deal....should look good. With my measurements the front body line should be about a 1/2 in lower then the rear....just using stock shocks and springs for now.

Re: One Bad 84
I would almost bet there is some kind of lowering already done to the rear of that truck. Are the hangers moved up or anything? It looks more like 7" of rear drop. I am pretty sure the 8" 225's are pretty close to rubbing so I wouldn't think the 10's would fit but I don't have any personal experience ith them.

Re: One Bad 84
Hey bayclay, I think the same it looks stock under here.... It only has 5 leafs, could that be why? And if that's the case with the 225s it looks like ill be getting rid of a few lol. That sucks
